Abstract
Introduction:
Due to the dangerous course of the disease, patients with covid-19 face problems in self-care behavior and quality of life, this study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of self-care training on the perception of the disease and controlling the complications of the disease in patients with covid-19.
Materials and Methods:
In this semi-experimental study, 54 patients with COVID-19 referred to Razi Ahvaz Hospital were selected based on the inclusion criteria, and then they were divided into two intervention and control groups as randomized replacement blocks. The intervention group received the self-care training program during four sessions of 30 minutes (daily) individually. The control group received routine care. Self-care behavior in two groups was compared before and after the intervention. The data collection tool included a demographic profile questionnaire and a short disease perception questionnaire. Data analysis was done using statistical tests in spss23 software.
Results:
The difference in the overall rank of disease perception in the intervention and control groups was 30.33 and 24.67, respectively, which was not statistically significant (p=0.185).
Conclusion:
Educational intervention effectively improves self-care behaviors and understanding of the disease of patients with COVID-19. Therefore, it is suggested that nurses should check the patient's engagement and beliefs about the disease to carry out nursing interventions and modify his beliefs based on the patient's needs.
